Tour Girasoles, Skyscraper in San Jorge district, La Paz, Bolivia

Torre Girasoles is a modern high-rise with 38 floors that reaches 150 meters into the sky, featuring a glass and steel design in the San Jorge area. Inside, you will find a mix of apartments, offices, hotel rooms, and shops, with underground parking accommodating hundreds of cars.

Construction started in 2010 and finished in 2013, making it Bolivia's tallest building at the time of completion. The project became an important milestone in the country's modern urban development.

The tower marks a turning point in how La Paz develops its skyline, showing the city's shift toward modern high-rise construction. You can see this change reflected in the contrast between this building and the older architecture surrounding it.

The building sits in a central location that is easy to reach, with several street-level entrances providing direct access. If you drive, underground parking is available, and the complex is welcoming to pedestrians walking through or around it.

The building was specifically engineered to handle La Paz's high altitude and seismic activity, with special structural systems and backup power generators built into its design. These technical features show how modern construction must adapt to the city's unique geological and atmospheric challenges.
